Staying Lean: Thriving

The first edition of this highly acclaimed publication received a Shingo Research and Professional Publication Prize in 2009. Explaining how to create and sustain a Lean business, it followed Cogent Powers first two Lean Roadmaps along their journey. Since then, much has changed. Several members of Cogent Powers senior management have moved on, steel prices have declined, and the credit crisis has sparked an unstable global economy. Set against these developments, this second edition reports on Cogent Powers response to these issues-detailing how they worked through their third Lean Roadmap.
